Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.

It is easy making a pretty block when you start with pretty fabrics. This block will go out in tomorrow's mail to Melinda in our Let's Bee Together quilt bee.

April Bee Block for Let's Bee Together

What isn't easy is finding balance between actual quilting and blogging. I get so much inspiration and sense of community from blogging, but once I get online, I find it hard to get off again to actually sew! How do YOU find the right balance? Do you time yourself? Only get online at certain times of day? I'm open to suggestions.
